Yet more Nintendo Switch 2 details are making their way online in lieu of an official reveal, with possibly more to follow in the next week. So much information about the Nintendo Switch 2 leaked in December, from its Joy-Con controllers and dock to the console’s actual design. At this point, all that’s left is for Nintendo itself to show it off and announce some games for it.

Nintendo has promised a formal announcement by the end of March and rumours suggest some kind of news could be shared in the coming weeks. So, the most eager of fans will be feverishly checking Nintendo’s social media accounts every day until it happens.

In the meantime, said fans are continuing to look elsewhere for more crumbs of Switch 2 info and they may have found some thanks to a recently discovered patent. Said patent was filed by Nintendo with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) back in July 2023 but was only published on December 31, 2024.
The long and short of it is that it discusses DLSS-style upscaling technology that can be used to improve the resolution of video games. Essentially, it’d allow for higher graphical settings and frame rates on weaker hardware. While there’s no explicit mention of Nintendo’s next console, this lines up with previous Switch 2 rumours. In 2023, reports claimed to have seen Nintendo hardware running an upscaled version of The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild and the Unreal Engine 5 The Matrix Awakens demo, both of which made use of DLSS tech.
